4.0 out of 5 stars go for it, 1 Nov 2007
This review is from: IBS for Dummies (US Edition) (Paperback)
good. very comprehensive with clear / objective explanations. it is good help, talks about everything related to ibs, and you discover many things you had no idea about

unlike many other books about the subject, it does not focus on one aspect and leave the rest aside, but gives a holistic approach

if you are a sufferer, or someone you know is, my reccomendation is go for it!!

4.0 out of 5 stars IBS for Dummies, 16 Mar 2010

This review is from: IBS for Dummies (US Edition) (Paperback)
As like, I am sure, the other 'Dummies' books this one written for IBS sufferers is not exception. It details in easy language what IBS is, gives great tips and advice and makes it easy to understand. Worth buying even if you are not the sufferer so that you also understand what they are going through.

5.0 out of 5 stars A well researched encyclopedia about Irritable Bowel Syndrome, 19 Feb 2006
By Jeffrey D. Roberts "Founder, Irritable Bowel ... - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: IBS for Dummies (US Edition) (Paperback)
IBS For Dummies is likely the most complete and current book about IBS that has been written to date for the non-medical reader. It covers pretty well every topic and aspect about the illness and it does it very well. The book reads easily from cover-to-cover or as a reference from chapter to chapter. This book is for sufferers or for anyone who wants to learn more about this chronic illness. Certainly well worth the read and as an addition to your personal IBS book library.

2.0 out of 5 stars Better books out there, 10 July 2008
By A shopper in Montana - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: IBS for Dummies (US Edition) (Paperback)
While I've found most "dummies" books to be comprehensive and objective, this one is not. Not only is it depressing (listing every food as a cause of IBS and recommending wearing adult diapers), it is also anti-Western medicine. Because the author has a doctorate of medicine and a doctorate of naturopathy, I had hoped this book would offer a well-balanced look at all avenues of treatment -- both Western and natural. Forget it. Every chapter ends with recommending a laundry list of obscure herbs and implementing her elimination diet.

More information is never a bad thing and there are better books out there. "The First Year: IBS" is a good book, as is "Irritable Bowel Syndrome & The Mind-Body/Brain-Gut Connections: 8 Steps for Living a Healthy Life with a Functional Bowel Disorder" and "The Second Brain: A Groundbreaking New Understanding of Nervous Disorders of the Stomach and Intestine."

3.0 out of 5 stars my review, 27 Aug 2006
By new2IBS - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: IBS for Dummies (US Edition) (Paperback)
I found a lot of info in the book. It was one of the first I read on the topic of IBS. I would reccomend it as a starting point, on your journey of info collection. It is hard to say it is a great reference because every case of IBS is so individualized.
